[Mono-list] Compiling egg-chicken libraries

[Ben Maurer]

The point is that you *cant* pass both files in. Pretend Object is written =
in Visual Basic, and stub in C#.

I did not prove this case was impossible, however I see no clear way to do =
it. I would love to be proved wrong.

One thing to consider is how one can make a tool that is smart enough to =
know the exact steps to bootstrap. The tool cant guess-and-check. It needs =
a finite set of steps that will always result in a successful compile, =
given valid input. So really, you need to find a fixed and exact method, =
which could be translated into code.

I honestly think that it will be easier to use codedom :-).

1. Create Object.cs containing only:

class MyClass {}

2. Compile this.

3. Compile Stub against this.

4. Compile the true Object against Stub.

..or just pass both .cs files to the C# compiler at the same time -- works
with CSC at least :-)

The resulting module contains types from both .cs files, of course.
